UNSPSC 50523426: Non GMO dauphine grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO dauphine grapes. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50523426 Non GMO Dauphine grapes is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific fresh fruit product; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not actually seek Dauphine grapes or any specialty fresh fruit variety. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code request general produce procurement—fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, county parks concession operations, and health care coalitions. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), special-purpose districts (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state departments (State of Georgia). The work being solicited includes bulk fresh produce delivery to school cafeterias, park food concessions, and institutional food services, with strong emphasis on food safety compliance (HACCP plans, temperature control, traceability), local or domestic sourcing preferences, and competitive pricing tied to seasonal availability.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and a State of Georgia bid) and extends to Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District) and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District Food & Nutrition Department's RFB 4162 for petite bananas with bids due July 29, 2026 and estimated annual contract value of $78,000; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026 covering July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026. The code shows material recent activity across multiple state and local jurisdictions but does not reflect solicitation of the Dauphine grape variety named in the code itself.
